Wait a minute and then plug the IRD back in and turn it on. These outages would affect an entire region at once so your neighbors and other service members at your command would have also lost signal.

An easy check is to see if the signal is available at another receiver in your same location. A sun outage lasts only 10 to 15 minutes. Sun outages over the United States can affect signals in elsewhere in the world. I was receiving the satellite signal but it comes and goes or I get a lot of freeze frames and digital artifacts. This is the sign of a weak signal and can usually be traced to one of the following problems:.

Wiggle the connections to see if you can get the signal to intermit from Loss of Signal to Freeze-Frames. If so, redo or replace connectors. See the section of this chapter on signal peaking. This typically happens with a new LNB that has replaced a failed on or one from a brand new installation.

Heat and cold will often cause a marginal LNB to lose signal. Computer network cable is the wrong electrical impedance and will cause signal loss.

This is very rare. Extreme weather will cause the satellite dish to move off the satellites position. Typically caused by radio transmitters located in front of the dish. At certain times of year, approximately one month either side of the spring and autumn equinoxes, there may be a conjunction of the sun and satellite positions.

Depending upon the size of the earth station antenna, such events can lead to a serious impairment of the space-earth link. These outages typically last only a few minutes at a time once a day with a normal worse case outage of about ten to fifteen minutes. Outages will affect each link in multi-hop circuits. For example viewers in Europe or the Indian Ocean area would be affected by an outage of first, the Atlantic satellite and then secondly, of the actual satellite feeding their antenna.

Antennas should not be adjusted or re-pointed at these lost-of-signal times. The viewer should wait out the outage until the sun finishes passing directly behind the satellite.

E Notes: Higher elevations higher look angles, typically result in better reception and less interference. If there is a choice between two satellites all other things being equal, the one with the higher elevation will normally get the better signal. Because of the way the Direct to Sailor signal is sent it may have better reception in some locations even though it is lower in the sky.

The best thing to do is to try out each signal available and choose the best one. L-Band frequency: MHz Symbol rate: C-Band frequency: 4.

Connect a video cable from the Video Out connector on the rear of the Decoder to the Video input on the rear of the TV monitor.

Connect the Decoder to the AC power source. A green dot will appear in the center of the front panel display window. Select Channel 0. On the front panel keypad, press MENU. Press 2, to unlock the installer MENU. Press 9 to bring up the first page of the installer MENU.

You can exit this menu at any time by pressing VIEW. Press YES on the front keypad section and note the system will respond that it is saving the entries in the upper right of the TV monitor. Connect the Decoder to a power source. See Figure 2 for an example. See Figure 3 for an example. See Figure 4 for an example. Scroll to the L. Freq for your satellite region. May this site can give you an idea.

Staff member. My Location Berkshire. If the OP is moving a dish currently pointed at Hotbird, dishpointer probably won't be of too much help, he only need to move the dish four degrees Westward and down a little.

Thanks for the tips, this is what I have so far: After bringing the TV and decoder to the dish put in the new Eurobird9A settings, I was only able to max the Sig Strength to 59, Siq Quality to 2, locked. Then we tried to hook up different decoder with same settings and No Lock, and no channels In the end I am trying to connect 4 decoders to the same satellite dish like we did with Hotbird Here are the pics of the Sat Dish before we got it connected to the new settings.

Sir, 1. The other dish was also inverted, but not functional. I did try to rotate it rightside up, but the sig strength was much lower and no Lock. I have tried twisting and no luck. I can get a signal, strength, and lock with the D but the D decoder does not work. Thanks in advance JP. Additional info: So we took the D decoder to the dish and was able to reach a sig strength of , sig quality of 6.

We are using R59 cable, and that is all we have. D I am starting to think the D needs more tweeking or is no good. Yes, sounds like it needs a bit more tweaking or a new LNB, plus some decent cable, RG59 is not suitable for satellite frequencies. Ok I'm reading this thread because I'm having the same problem. I can't seem to get the receiver to lock, I have a MaxPeak Satellite meter that finds the satellite but the receiver still won't lock on.

The only way I can get the receiver to lock is by changeing the LO Freq 2 whatever that is but even with the lock I'm still unable to get any channels. I did skeq the LNB, and tried flipping the dish but still no difference, and I was wondering why this is happening?
